Hi Judith C,
Thanks for reporting back with good news! Glad to hear things are going ok.

I have a question...... Is the dentist placing tissue grafts over your natural teeth or exposed parts from the implants? Are the threads of the implant exposed through the gum tissue?

You made this statement...<<<One thing I do notice is that the implants/bridge seem very stiff and solid compared with natural teeth, not that one feels them moving but they do not feel as cement like as the implants. Perhaps when the teeth are loaded they will feel a bit more natural.>>>>
Dental implants are rigid and do not have any flexibility. Natural teeth are held in the jawbone by a (periodontal) ligament which allows some flexibility as our teeth mesh together to chew. The ligament is removed when the teeth are removed. The implants will have a more rigid, stiffer feel when you chew...... even after the crowns or bridges are put on them. Most people adapt to that different feel pretty quickly.

Ok Judith C....... please keep us posted!
